England star Sam Underhill picks his all-time dream back-row

England flanker Sam Underhill has revealed his all-time dream back-row for www.bathrugby.com – and it’s AWESOME.

He was born in Dayton, Ohio, played twice for Gloucester before crossing the Severn Bridge to play for Ospreys while studying at Cardiff University. He switched to Bath on a three-year deal in 2017.

Underhill featured on the bench for the first three games of the 2018 Six Nations, and took part in the November internationals.

He has become a regular under head coach Eddie Jones and was part of the squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
